275's will fit fine. i think if the car is slammed with an agressive offset wheel you might need to roll fenders but other than that i think alot of guys here actually run 275's. but now that i think about it i dont know if you can mount a 275 on a 9 inch rim, i would say you probably can.

look into the vredestein winter tires...I think they come in 19 and should be good for snow

other than that..I know that 275's wont fit an e92 without rolling in back, but will fit an e90 usually. But this is in relation to a 9.5 inch wide rear wheel...I cant say I know about what would happen with a 9 inch wheel, but I imagine you would be fine since it's not as wide

doesn't mean they don't make um though... check around town, you're bound to find them. Or you could PM Gary@Tirerack and ask him if they can get them.

255 is stretching it a bit, 265 would be fine. When you go on Tirerack, look at the sizing/pricing tab and it'll give you a width range for the rim according to what size tire you're looking at. If its within range you should be good, but they vary from manufacturer... Dunlops @ 225 wouldn't fit my 8.5" rears but the Blizzaks and Goodyears would, so it all depends on what you're looking at.
